Delhi Gears Up for Nationwide Mock Drills Amid Rising Tensions

Delhi is preparing for comprehensive mock drills, according to the city's Home Minister, Ashish Sood. The exercises come in response to an initiative by the Union home ministry amid heightened security concerns.

The ministry has mandated that all states carry out these drills on Wednesday, amidst the backdrop of increased tensions following the Pahalgam attack on April 22, which resulted in 26 casualties.

Sood assured that while preparations are ongoing, additional information will guide further actions to ensure thorough preparedness. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reinforced this stance, committing to apprehend those responsible for the Pahalgam attack.
